This looks like so much fun! Thanks, I never would have found this place. I am planning to visit Paris in two weeks and since you mentioned a lot of bakeries are shutting down I am not as happy about my visit. What is Paris without a really good baguette?

What an amazing Musee, Carol! I cannot quite work out whether I would think it charming or just a bit creepy. I guess I will just have to visit and find out my reaction seeing all those dolls face to face.

Oh I just read your last 4 posts, I really should have commented on each, but I just got caught up in reading and looking at all the photos I didn`t want to stop to write. This museum looks so fun, love all the animals, more then the dolls I have to say and oooo that candy shop in the previous post looks like so much fun. I think I would spend all my money there!

You have been mentioned at the David Dewey workshop. Alison from NYC is here...& a woman named Jean found out about it from PB. I'm the Baby of the group (by experience,not age) but David teaches on different levels & I'm learning tons. Re the doll museum: great photos & story. I went to the one in Colmar. There was a huge exhibit of Barbies ( loved it). Thanks again for spreading the word about David D. Fantastique! Is your French even more fluent now?

I thought my ears were ringing...How fun that I have spread the wordIs my French more fluent? I'm not sure, but people have no problem being fluent with me...Why do they think I understand?Is it the cut of my scarf?It's too hot to wear a scarf right now..I have gotten better mainly by listening to the radio ALL THE TIME.c'est comme ca

I love the smaller, less well known museums too. I haven't been to this one yet, but am planning on Musee Carnavalet next year. Perhaps I'll get here too. As part of Paris in July I did a post last week on the Public Hospital Museum, which is a fascinating little place too.

Thank you for that blog…..and all the rest….. But this one brought back a memory of a little hand puppet I had that had been my dad's. One of the doggie dolls in your blog had the same face and the texture of it's "fur" looked just like my puppet. I could feel it, again!

These dolls are just enchanting! I love dolls -- did as a kid and now, too. In fact, at the yard sale I was helping at, they had a box of dozens of dolls from all over the world. I came home with one! How fun to see so many!

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
